Energy Movement Center

Energy Movement Center is great. I’ve been going for several months and it’s a very relaxed atmosphere with patient instructors.

My sig. other and I been doing private sessions with Darby and Phil, and it has been fantastic. We’ve both noticed less back and other pain, and increased strength and flexibility. They are both very encouraging and patient. We’ve also attended a few group classes, and those have also been very good.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2006. Since then my blood work also shows that I have Lupus, and Hashimoto’s Disease, and I also have a diagnosis of Essential Tremors. When you have as many autoimmune diseases as I have it is easy to go sit on the couch and feel sad. This approach never seemed like the «right» thing to do. I have too many things to do and family and friends I prefer not to disappoint. The more I exercise I do, the better I feel. Still, the urge is always there to go lie on the couch and watch TV. I used to belong to a large fitness facility in town and I liked it but they had lots of people enrolled and there was no one there to keep me honest. So, I did not have to push myself any harder than I had to. I would go in, walk the treadmill and leave without saying «Hi» to anyone. My visits became less and less until I eventually stopped going.
Recently a friend asked me to join her for a spin class at the Energy Movement Center in Peekskill. I told her I would if I could bike in the back row. She said there’s no back row as the class is small and only has 8 bikes. I hated every minute of the class but I loved the way I felt for the rest of the day. I went for the next two mornings. The instructors are so nice and I look forward to seeing my fellow bikers. I had to miss a few classes when my sister had a baby and my class seemed concerned that I had missed a few classes and they seemed happy to see me upon my return. I continued to attend spin and I loved the vibe of the Energy Movement Center so I became a member. I signed up for a personal trainer and was assigned Mike Anzovino who quickly designed a plan for my needs. My strength continues to increase, I have more energy, and I am sleeping better than I have in years. I ran my first Spartan Race last month and I am going to do my second Spartan race in a month. The Energy Movement Center is a place where people go to better their health. I am not treated like a monthly membership. I am a work in progress and I am enjoying the work they are putting into me.
